To go along with Swim's simple Piperine extraction, SWIM would like to come up with a simple curcumin extraction (for future tincture combinations)
SWIM is aware that q21 has a simple oil-extraction for curcumin, but a more concentrated and just as simple method would be great for further testing the general/MAOI effects of curcumin
according to ftp://ftp.fao.org/es/esn/jecfa/cta/CTA_61_Curcumin.pdf curcumin is soluble in ethanol
"Ethanol - This solvent is used sparingly because curcumin is completely soluble in ethanol. "
that being said, would it be possible for curcumin to be bombed out with water similar to piperine? (curcumin is insoluble in water) and if not, SWIM is merely guessing
if not, SWIM imagines that freeze precip or a simple soak/strain/evap extraction would be efficient enough to produce highly concentrated curcumin, if not crystalline curcumin, which could be added to oil/gylcerin/ect.
If anyone would care to inform or speculate, it would be greatly appreciated!
(will begin testing shortly, once swim obtains some everclear)
